13/64 Titanium Ni Drill Bit - Vermont American

The Vermont American 12313 13/64 Titanium Ni Drill Bit is engineered for the rigorous demands of professional automotive and industrial environments. This high-performance tool combines professional-grade high-speed steel with a robust titanium nitride (TiN) coating, designed to deliver exceptional precision and an extended service life in challenging applications, helping to reduce downtime and enhance workflow efficiency.

Key Features

• Professional-Grade High-Speed Steel (HSS) Construction: Manufactured from high-speed steel for superior strength and resilience, ensuring consistent performance under heavy use in demanding tasks.
• Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coating: Provides a super hard, low-friction surface that significantly enhances wear resistance and extends the bit's operational lifespan, especially when drilling abrasive materials. This coating can extend tool life by 500% or more compared to standard HSS bits.
• Precise 13/64 Inch Diameter: Optimized for accuracy across a wide range of drilling applications, ideal for creating precise fastener holes.
• Self-Centering 135° Split Point: Designed for immediate, accurate starts without the need for a pilot hole, preventing bit walking on curved or uneven surfaces and improving overall hole quality and efficiency. It also reduces feed pressure for easier penetration.
• Clean and Consistent Hole Production: Engineered to minimize material distortion, this drill bit produces clean, consistent holes, potentially reducing the need for post-drilling deburring and finishing.

Applications

• Automotive Repair and Fabrication: Ideal for drilling precise fastener holes in common metal components such as mild steel, aluminum, and brass, critical for vehicle repair, custom fabrication, and modifications.
• Industrial Maintenance and Assembly: Effective in a variety of fabrication and repair tasks involving materials like hard plastics and composite materials, supporting general industrial maintenance, assembly operations, and light machinery work.
• Engine Bay and Bodywork: Supports automotive bodywork and engine bay modifications where creating clean, accurate holes is essential for proper component fitment and structural integrity.
